How to wash clothes by hand for college students?

1. Arrange clothes. It may not be necessary to sort clothes for handwashing, but it is a good idea to organize them before washing. Keep all white and colored and dark clothing separate. Delicate clothing or particularly dirty areas should be washed separately.

2. Prepare the water. Need to prepare 2 pots of water- 1 pot for washing and the other for rinsing. If a sink is not available, a separate sink or bathtub can be used. Different colored clothes need different temperatures; white and light-colored clothes need hot water, and colored and dark-colored clothes need cooler water. Different temperatures can be adjusted each time the water is filled.

3. Add detergent. Pour 1 or 2 tablespoons depending on the size of the pot in warm water. Liquid cleaners are most effective for hand laundry because they dissolve quickly. Mix the cleanser by hand to help spread and foam.

4. Wet clothing. Put dirty laundry in hot water. Soak for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off.

5. Wash dirty clothes. On the stains of the clothes and the easily dirty parts such as cuffs and necklines, rub with some detergent with your hands.

6. Rinse laundry. Drain the soap and dirt from the water and pour the clothes into the second basin of clean water. Rinse as much dirty water off your clothes as possible. If there is still a lot of detergent in the laundry, put it in clean water and rinse it again.

7. Remove excess water. Clothes can be difficult to dry if they are very wet, so try to remove excess water before drying. Gently squeeze the water out without twisting or twisting. This will not damage or deform the clothes.

8. Dry the laundry. Turn clothes inside out to avoid sun damage except for white clothes. Then hang on a hanger and secure with clips. Depending on the temperature and humidity outside, it may take 1-2 days to dry completely.
